About this trial
This is a single-center, randomized, prospective, confirmatory study of efficacy of individualized automatic coaching message for glycemic management and depressive symptom in patients with type 1 diabetes. The study will enroll patients with type 1 diabetes who are applying continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and receiving twice-monthly non-face-to-face management by a dedicated education nurse through the Type 1 Diabetes Home Care Project and Educational Consultation program. For 12 weeks, the intervention group will receive weekly personalized coaching messages for glycemic management based on data from continuous glucose monitoring and bi-weekly personalized coaching messages for depression symptoms based on depression questionnaires, instead of non-face-to-face diabetes management. The control group will continue their current treatment and non-face-to-face diabetes management. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the efficacy of automated, personalized coaching messages for glycemic management and depressive symptoms is non-inferior to the current non-face-to-face management approach in people with type 1 diabetes.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Time In Range
Derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
Secondary outcomes
Diabetes treatment satisfaction
Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ); Minimum and Maximum Values: The DTSQ consists of eight items, with six items measuring satisfaction scored on a 0-6 scale (where 0 is very dissatisfied and 6 is very satisfied). The scores for these six items are summed, giving a total score range from 0 to 36. Higher Scores: Higher scores on the DTSQ indicate better satisfaction with diabetes treatment. A higher total score suggests greater satisfaction, while a lower score indicates dissatisfaction.
Depressive symptoms
Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9); Minimum and Maximum Values: The PHQ-9 consists of nine items, each scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The scores for each item are summed to give a total score, resulting in a range from 0 to 27. Higher Scores: Higher scores on the PHQ-9 indicate worse outcomes, meaning greater severity of depressive symptoms. Lower scores suggest fewer symptoms of depression or none at all. Interpretation of Scores: 0-4: Minimal or no depression; 5-9: Mild depression; 10-14: Moderate depression; 15-19: Moderately severe depression; 20-27: Severe depression
